New Personal Training Clients...?

by Kristen
(Orlando)

I've been personal training now for about 5 months at a local fitness club. I have decided to expand my opportunities by offering my services outside of the club. I went ahead and made business cards and flyers that outline the highlights of my services and my price list.

Unfortunately, I live in a residential community which is rather private and each time I have posted my flyers and business cards, someone has removed them. I do not know whether I should keep posting them or find some other way of attracting clients. I have met a few clients via personal friends, but I know there are a lot of people in my neighborhood looking for trainers. What is the best way to go about gaining more clients at this time?

Any hints would be appreciated!
Thank you!! :)

Marketing Option
by: Shenetta F

I have recently started my wellness & fitness training business and also thought of posting flyers in the neighborhood. Some cities have ordinances restricting the posting of non standard posters. Besides I am sure you want to personalize your services, right?

Obtain the street addresses in your neighborhood and mail the flyer or create a mailing brochure and get it out in the community.

It adds an extra personal touch because you thought enough of your neighbors to mail the information and did not go the easy way of posting a few flyers.

I am doing this right now and expect to get a great return from this since there has been an increase of neighborhood walkers in the past few weeks.

Good Luck

Leads!!!
by: Ken Karanck

HI,

I read over your information about getting leads. Fliers are not the best, you might get a few bites.

I would reccommend going to the local spa, or massage places and doing a cross promo with them.

It will make you look much more professional. Youo can also get a web site, very cheap... hosting is around 10 bucks a month.

I have 12 years expereince in the field and I have worked for all the magor clubs in the country. I can tell you working for yourself
is the best route, hard to get started, but much more rewarding!
